Tagging questions is a way to enable categorization of questions, helping questions and answers to be easily found as the site develops and grows.

5. How to ‘tag’ a question

When you ask a question, you must create a ‘tag’ for it (as explained in question ‘4’).

As you type a tag, you will see a list of suggestions matching text as you type with tags that already exist. Where possible, try to use tags that already exist.
